This was a well done and fantastic movie. It kept to the book. I don’t see where they trimmed anything about battles.
I think that is just PC PR nonsense.
I want to see how faithful they will be to the next book.
My daughter also noticed as another poster commented that they left out the baptism scene where Eustace as a dragon scratches off his scales and then backs into the ocean, sinks and then emerges from the water as a boy. She said it would not have added much time to keep that scene as it was written.
